"Why do I get the feeling that you never intended to find Muchen in the first place?" Even a fool could sense something amiss, and Bai Nuanxi was no exception. From the beginning, Yuzixuan had planned to use her. All that talk about needing her to speak to Huo Muchen was likely just an excuse.

"You don't trust me." Bai Nuanxi narrowed her eyes, withdrawing her hand and rejecting Yuzixuan's attempt to curry favor. Her gaze carried a hint of something unspoken.
"I…" Yuzixuan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Bai Nuanxi cut her off without mercy.
